Hi there Trendy Fans! It's Shelly from My Paper Love sharing a fun gift bag using our spotlight of the month Celebration Trendy Twine and some other AWESOME products from the Trendy Boutique. I love the colors of this twine and I think it is so PERFECT for all the Disney projects but I wanted to make something a little different...

I made a gift bag that could be used for a Wedding, Anniversary, love day, or a birthday. The gift bag is from the Trendy Boutique and can be found HERE. These bags are lined and are the BEST bags I've ever used. I also used a pretty Doily that you can find HERE. Great addition to a project to give it that pretty factor.

Added some rolled flowers and paper leaves and lastly, laced this gorgeous twine in the circle of the doily.

To
keep the packaging simple, I used a variety of die cuts to create the
layered center. A simple sentiment is added to the center of the dies.
The twine is used as a simple touch to the packaging.

In
case you are not aware of the awesome ideas in the Trendy Twine store,
please stop by and check it out! Are you in need of treat packaging? Or
even looking for unique packaging options? Check out the PACKAGING, BAGS, BOXES section in the store. The SMALL WHITE BAGS used on this projects can be found HERE! These fun large wooden forks are also available, HERE. I love that this forks are big enough to stamp a fun sentiment right on the fork!

CELEBRATION twine is on sale for a few more days! Also available is this month's mini set:

a mix of Red, Yellow, Black and White bakers twine that is PERFECT for all those Disney inspired projects.

So I have another Mickey Mouse project to share~ This one is a Mickey party invite what would be perfect for any Disney birthday!

Hope you like it!

I designed this file myself to include a pull out tag that will have all the party details on it. Of course it is in the shape of Mickey Mouse, complete with his adorable red pants and yellow buttons. For the buttons, I wanted to cover the holes so I added some Celebration Trendy Twine and then hot glued them to the red "pants" to guarantee that they stay in place.

And here is what the pull out tag looks like in full. All of the stamped sentiments are from My Creative Time and then for the top of the tag, I added an eyelet and some more Celebration Trendy Twine!

So what do you think???? Super cute party invite idea that would sure get your guests excited about this celebration :)

Hi everyone! I'm Helen from HTB Creations. Today I have a 5 1/2 square birthday card to show you using the twine of the month Celebration.

I kept seeing some fun lacing die cuts and wanted to try one out. Luckily, SVG Cutting Files had a balloon set. I knew it would be perfect for my Celebration Trendy Twine :)

To lace it, I just used some glue on the end of my twine so that it would not unravel and just laced it on up. I left the end long so that it could be the balloon string. These are really fun files and I can't wait to get some more to use with all my Trendy Twine colors!

I pop dotted the balloon on, and glued the twine balloon string down. To finish it off, I added some fun Doodlebug sequins.

This is Melissa from M Miranda Creations and I am the Trendy Twine Guest Designer today. This month's theme is Birthdays using the Celebration twine. It is such a fun color combo with so many possibilities.

I am always looking for creative ways to let my kiddos know that they are loved. And these cute door hangers would be so fun to hang on their doors the morning of their birthdays.

As I was making them, I also thought hanging one of these on their door could be the first clue of many clues during a day as you get ready to announce to your kiddos that your family is making a trip to Disney. How exciting would that be!

This is Sukie and this month we are showcasing the Celebration twine. This cute bakers twine is a unique twist of red, yellow, black and white, such a fun and festive color combination. My Disney themed project was inspired by this fun twine color. For my project, I created a single page 12x12 layout using the Mickey and Friends cartridge.

The stars were cut using a die from my stash and the die cuts were popped up on foam dots for added dimension. The die cuts and photo mats were accented with the Celebration twine.

Lots of fun little embellishments including some polka dotted washi tape, a button, scattered sequins and a couple of Mickey icons were added to my layout.

A couple of sentiments from the Scrappy Moms Picture Perfect stamp set were added to hand cut flags as a finishing touch.

Don't forget to check out the store for lots of crafty products. You also have a few more days to apply for the Trendy Twine Little Sisters Design Team call, all of the details are here.

It is always fun to CELEBRATE a birthday and when I was growing up birthday parties were always associated with a fun clown, doing their balloon art, putting on a comedy show and bringing tons of entertainment to a party.

So for my card I used designer paper from Queen & Co that is a PERFECT match to the Celebration Trendy Twine. That adorable clown image is from Peachy Keen Stamps and I colored him using my copic markers. Then for a little extra, I added some Christmas/X-Mas Red Sticklesto his nose, tie and shoes.

You have to have some balloons for a birthday card! And I have the perfect embellishment to add to them, some of the Celebration Trendy Twine.

I tied a piece of the Celebration Trendy Twine around each of the balloons and then let them hang down below the clown.

I have been trying to make quicker, easier cards without a ton of layers on them. I'm really not used to it though. Originally, I had a black layer under the red, but that made the card too dark. So I took it off and did like the way this turned out.

I used some fun star dies and this great stamp--both from My Creative Time. The Celebration Twine is just wrapped around the card and tied off in the bow. I pop dotted the stars on and finished it off with some Doodlebug black sequins to pull the black in a bit more from the twine.

We're taking a break from the challenge right now, but you can see more inspiration right here on the blog all month long and also on Facebook at the Twine It Up! Group page.
